Finally figured it out ... Pictures!

My phone company - for whatever reason - won't allow me to send pictures to yahoo email. I dunno why. Irritating, so I just set myself up with MS Hotmail and now I have pictures. Jeez. :o\

So ... stitching ... First is another Halloween quickie I did, a freebie that was on P Ricamo's site a few years ago. I thought he was cute and I just love this fabric (Sugarmaple "Night") which is same as I used for my Frankenstein. 1st pic (close up) is more true to color for the fabric.

Then I have been working on my Mira Blanket that I started quite awhile back and "forgot" about. I was having an issue with what to use for the beads because I don't want to have beads on my blanket. I finally ran across some DMC Rayon threads and they're perfect for a cheaper, less bulky solution. And I won't have to bead the whole danged blanket!!

So I did Stargazer, Christmas Holiday and am starting on Angel of the New Dawn.

Can I just say that doing this blanket is a quick fix to my Mira obsession ... I get to pick out my favorite 100 sq. block and whip it out in about a week. :o) Granted, I still have about 19 more to go, but they're going faster now. If you click on Stargazer you can see where I used the rayon threads in place of the beads. It works for me.

Anyway ladies ... I hope everyone has a lovely Thanksgiving!! I have no family to deal with but I found this incredibly tasty looking and easy to make turkey/stuffing recipe from Tyler Florence that I'm quite excited to try. Of course I'm going to buy my stuffing instead of making it (Gotta love Trader Joe's!) but I think it'll turn out lovely. :o) And it only takes 25 minutes to cook!!!

The turkey is breast rolled around the stuffing, you can watch the video here -> http://www.foodnetwork.com/videos/oven-roasted-turkey-breast/42595.html This is the only pic I could find of it, but doesn't it looked darned tasty?!

Happy Thanksgiving Ladies!!

Sad news for the fans of Teresa Wentzler ...

She's going to stop her business.

I'm too lazy to link but she's at Artistic License here -> http://www.teresa-wentzler.com/



ME on the other hand, have been stitching up a storm, but have no way to take pics. I'll figure it out someday soon, just too lazy now. Busy. Busy.

Toodles ladies ~

Mira Letter M

This is all I finished today, woke late and starting early tonight. Only watched the up to the 8th inning of the Yankees/Twins game. I think this one is decided so I can go to work now. :o)

G'night

Nora Corbett "Letter M" - day 2

Yup ... moving quickly. Dress done and just right side to do on the letter then it's arms/head and wings.

Toodles!

Halloween stitch almost done. A new start ...

Hidee Ho Ladies ... I have *almost* finished my one Halloween treat this year. This is from Stoney Creeks' 2008 October issue. It's called "Will Spook For Food", affectionately known as "Frank".

I changed it to "candy" because I thought food sounded a little too desperate. :o) You can see where I ran out of 741. That's all I need to finish him. Frank is done on an old 16ct fabric by ... someone ... called "Night". It just seemed appropriate. I'm thinking he needs some sort of border though.

But I'm guessing it might be awhile before I might/might not get around to it as I just started this one today. It's Mira's Letter M. I finally got around to buying it and the recommended CC's for it. I took a trip to Acorn and Threads a few days ago and got these.

This is as far as I've gotten so far today. She's done on a Silkweaver 28ct linen called "Blue Dynasty". Moving right along.

Buh Bye
